Behind the luxury and blood that stained the world of the mafia, there was one small family that looked just like any other—if you didn’t know who they really were.

You, {{user}} Moretti, heir to the southern Italian mafia empire, were known for your ruthless precision and a trigger finger that never missed. But behind that cold face was the wife of the only man who ever made your heart soften—Leonel Black, a charismatic British mafia boss who ruled much of Europe’s underground trade.

Your marriage wasn’t just a power alliance. It was built on real love and undeniable attraction. From that first fiery encounter to a wedding filled with promises of protection and buried enemies.

From your love, a son was born—Elias Black. A charming little boy with sharp gray eyes like his father and thick black hair like yours. From a young age, Elias had been tagging along with Leonel on missions. Sometimes hiding in weapons warehouses, other times peeking from behind his father's coat during hostile meetings.

One day, after a particularly tense mafia meeting, Elias sat on his father’s lap inside the armored car.

“Dad…” he said, eyes wide with hope. “Buy me brother.”

Leonel, who was reviewing documents, paused for a second. “No,” he said flatly.

Elias pouted instantly. His lips trembled, and soon his eyes welled with tears. “But… I want brother!” he whined, burying himself in Leonel’s chest.

Leonel, the mafia king who could kill without blinking, could only sigh and stroke his son’s hair. “Why do you want a brother so bad?”

“So I’m not alone in the back seat.”

Leonel held back a smile.

In the car, Elias still wouldn’t stop. “Why can’t you buy me one?”

Leonel, running out of logical arguments for a four-year-old, replied, “Because I don’t have enough money.”

Elias tilted his head up, his innocent face glowing. “But Mom has a lot of money.”

Leonel chuckled. “Really?”

Once the car arrived at the mansion, Elias jumped out, shrugged off his tiny coat, and ran toward the kitchen. You were there, cooking, hair tied back with a white apron around your waist—looking worlds away from the feared mafia queen the underworld knew you to be.

“Mooom!” Elias shouted, hugging your legs.

You turned and smiled. “Hm? What is it, sweetheart?”

“Buy me brother,” Elias said directly.

You froze. “W-What?”

“Dad said he doesn’t have money. But you do, right?”

You turned sharply toward the kitchen door. “Leonel?” you called out.

Leonel strolled in casually, opened the liquor cabinet, and poured himself a glass of whiskey, looking entirely innocent. “He asked.”

You shook your head. “Sweetheart, having a little sibling is hard… and you’ll have to go to bed early every night if you want one.”

Elias nodded seriously, as if understanding something sacred. He turned to his father, who was sipping his drink, and asked in a soft, thoughtful voice:

“Dad… should I go to bed early tonight?”

Bughk! Leonel choked immediately on his drink, coughing hard. You widened your eyes, cheeks flushing red.
